    Can we being back forums for older VWs?

    Lol that's accurate. All the OG's holding out but are now just older and can appreciate other things than just slammed VW's. I have to admit, I'm guilty of this hah. I'm still on Audizine from my Audi days and a thread I'm still active in we were all just talking about EV's! Some of us have made...

    Can we being back forums for older VWs?

    That's what Vortex was for. But pretty sure that place is dead now. Haven't been on in years. A lot of the older forums I participated in seem to be slowly dying. I think FB and other social media took a big chunk of participation.

    Anyone ever done beef jerky in their smoker? I was thinking about giving it a shot. No clue what I'd do for marinade. But from everything I've read it seems like you want to do a top or bottom round sliced about 1/4". Marinade for about a day, and then smoke it (I'd throw in some hickory...

    I looked into it a little bit earlier and I may give it a shot one day soon. I've got another pork butt I need to do as well as a whole chicken that I was going to beer can. So I may do one of those, and then as I'm shutting down the Egg, throw in the jerky. We'll see...

    I did a butt yesterday as well. A little one. 5#. Put it on at 9am @250F stalled around 2PM around 150F, was going to try to let it go but I needed it for dinner so I wrapped it up and bumped to 300F and it ended up being done around 4 or so. Wrapped it in a towel, stuck it in the cooler and it...

    I'm looking forward to checking this out. I haven't played a dedicated rally game since Dirt 3!

    Anybody a video game junkie?

    I'm a little disappointed with the new FM. There are so many good tracks missing. I know a very notable one is coming in "Spring 2024" (Nordschleife), but COTA, Sebring, Daytona, Road Atlanta...I can only hope they bring them back over time. I've only done the first 3 intro races and just a...

    Anybody a video game junkie?

    100%. From what little I've played, it does seem like they've leaned even more into the simulation physics. I played FM7 a few days ago, so going from that to FM(8), I could tell a bit of a difference. Kept understeering for the first few turns lol. Maybe it's all my fault...who knows. I want...

    Anybody a video game junkie?

    Played about 30 min or so of the new Forza this morning before heading into work. Nowhere near long enough to really get a feel for it. But the physics do feel a bit different...I want to say more realistic and less arcade-y.

    The A1 in the background says it all though. Hah. I mean I'm a total noob when it comes to all of this but I know enough to wonder how he could even remotely consider that to be "not too shabby" lol.

    I use a pellet Ooni for pizzas. My wife preps them and I bake them. Its a good system lol. It's pretty cool because we crank out like, little 12" pizzas and we will usually make about 3,4 or even 5 different "flavors". We will normally have people over and it is a fun activity. It only takes...

    We usually buy a store bought dough ball. So much easier than making it yourself and tastes just as good IMO.

    Anybody a video game junkie?

    Starfield I think may be a little slow pace for some, or just not interesting enough? I don't know, but that's what I gather. For me, I'm still trying to get into it as well. I have a few hours into it and I feel like I've accomplished nothing! Also, I still don't know/understand a lot of the...

    Anybody a video game junkie?

    One of my main beefs with games the last 10 years or so is that they are just so cumbersome. Specifically open world games. Its just rinse and repeat. Go here do that. Now go over here, and do the same thing as over there...over and over and over. It's just grinding. Like, it feels like work...

    Anybody a video game junkie?

    I have Xbox Game Pass so it was "free". But I probably would have bought it anyway because I've been looking forward to it. Fired it up this AM and got through creating a character and that is it so far. I've purposely been straying away from reviews/videos because I want to go in with a fresh...

    Well I think the end result was great! However I did screw up the timing. I probably could have let it cook unrapped for a little longer, or maybe just never wrapped it at all. I pulled it at about 4.5 hrs when the temp was about 165. This was also around 1pm. I thought I was going to have up...

    It’s the Meater wireless probe. Sticks directly in the meat for internal temp and then measures ambient temp as well.
